US 10-Year Treasury yields surged to a seven-session high of 5.31%, fueled by data indicating a resilient economy that keeps the Fed's cutting path in question. This macro environment is causing a clear divergence: value, small caps, and financials are lagging significantly (XLF down 1.13%, IWM down 0.40%), while growth proxies like XLK and SMH hold up. The rising yield environment continues to penalize rate-sensitive sectors, reinforcing the rotation into high-quality tech and AI beneficiaries.
